Jan 14th, 2009 by earthspaces

Lake Kegonsa State Park, established in 1962, is a 342 acre park on the shores of a 3,200 acre lake. The lake has excellent fishing for northern pike and panfish. The lake was formed from glacial debris that dammed parts of what is believed to be an old river valley called the “Ancient Wisconsin River”. About 12,000 years ago the 4-Lakes of the Madison Area were formed: Lakes Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, and Kegonsa. Lake Kegonsa, from the Ho-Chunk word meaning “Lakes of Many Fishes”, was referred to by early settlers as “First Lake”. A hiking trail near the family campground leads to a few effigy mounds built by Woodland Indians. There are 80 family campsites, three group campsites, two picnic shelters, fishing pier, boat launch, swimming beach, and a pet swim area. Music copyright 2008 by Maury Smith.
